No charges will be brought in case where RFK Jr. dumped dead bear in Central Park

Robert F. Kenney is not facing charges over leaving a dead bear cub in New York City's Central Park a decade ago.

The New York State Department of Environment Conservation (DEC) said the statute of limitations expired after Kennedy said in a video released Sunday that he was responsible for putting a dead bear cub in Central Park a decade ago.

The DEC said it had determined back in 2014 that the bear had died from "blunt force trauma consistent with a car collision." Authorities closed the investigation in 2014 after it couldn't find enough evidence to decide if any violation had occurred.

On Sunday, the independent presidential candidate shared a video on X where he claimed in a conversation with Roseanne Barr that he placed a dead "young bear" in Central Park 10 years ago. In the video, which the campaign said was posted to get ahead of a New Yorker article, the candidate said he was driving in upstate New York when a woman in a van in front of him hit and killed the bear, he told Barr.

it does show the poor judgment of RFK, Jr. when pressed to make a quick decision.

... someone else killed Boo Boo. He simply ghoulishly claimed the corpse, transported it many miles, then abandoned it to make a point about bicycle safety or some such.

Neither normal nor appropriate decisions by a man that wants to make much more important decisions for us all.

No thank you.

Too bad the mom didn't charge him.

Sicko. I keep thinking how ashamed his father would be with what he's become.

And the statute of limitations has run out.

The main offense here is that it is creepy and gross, and reveals a lot about the person who did it.
